Subject: [PATCH] Babel preset: Stop lowering named capturing groups for Hermes
 V1

Since #59580, a `u` regex with a named backreference directly followed by a digit fails Hermes compilation with `Invalid regular expression: Invalid escape`. `@babel/plugin-transform-named-capturing-groups-regex` rewrites `\k<name>` as a numbered backreference without guarding a following digit, so `/(?<a>.)\k<a>1/u` becomes `/(.)\11/u`, a reference to group 11. Without the `u` flag, `\11` reads as a legacy octal escape, so non-`u` regexes compile but silently match the wrong thing.

Hermes V1 supports named capturing groups natively, so the Hermes profiles stop lowering them, except for regexes that repeat a group name across alternatives, which Hermes doesn't support. Those still go through `@babel/plugin-transform-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex`. The `hermes-legacy` and `default` profiles keep the transform.

Changelog: [General][Fixed] - Babel preset: Hermes V1 profiles no longer lower named capturing groups, fixing named backreferences followed by a digit
